□ Korea Housing Finance Corporation (HF) CEO Kim Jae-Chun stated in his New Year's address, "HF will further step up its support for the working class and the socially disadvantaged."

□ CEO Kim added, "A rise in interest rates and ongoing economic weakness are expected to impose a heavier burden on the working class. HF will therefore take the lead in providing more policy loans for the working class and the socially disadvantaged." He went on to say, "HF will continue to help expand debt rescheduling and ease the overdue repayment burden through deferral of repayment of the principal on debt."

□ He also expressed his determination to pursue 'thorough risk management' and 'strengthening of policy competency' by saying, "HF will take the lead in the housing finance market based on its unmatched expertise and capability."
